FSSP Ordinations in Warringon

Mass for the installation of the FSSP in the church, which was previously owned by the Benedictines of Ampleforth. Abbot Cuthbert of Ampleforth, as well as Archbishop McMahon of Liverpool, were present.

Next weekend two seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP) will be ordained to the priesthood in their impressive church of St Mary's, Warrington by Archbishop McMahon. Everyone is welcome to this historic events: the first ordinations in England using the traditional rites since the liturgical reform.

The Fraternity are putting on a full programme for thos who can stay the night in the area. The church can be found on a map here.

This article is inaccurate. Two priests were ordained for the Transalpine Redemptorists on the Isle of Sheppey in 2000, and Father Gary Holden was ordained for the SSPX in Preston in 2004. Unlike these upcoming FSSP ordinations, the sacraments in question were conferred by validly consecrated Catholic bishops.
